Some theories even suggest Venus was once habitable. So to finally get answers, NASA is developing two missions to explore Earth’s evil twin.

The Evolution Of NASA’s Ambitious Asteroid-Capture Mission:

https://www.space.com/28963-nasa-asteroid-capture-mission-history.html

“NASA's ambitious asteroid-capture mission has changed a lot since the agency officially announced its existence less than two years ago. The original plan, which was revealed in April 2013, called for dragging an intact small space rock into orbit around the moon, where it would be visited by astronauts, perhaps as early as 2021."

Animation Of Proposed Asteroid Retrieval Mission Video:

https://www.youtube.com/user/VideoFromSpace

“NASA's 2014 budget poposes a mission to robotically capture a small near-Earth asteroid and bring it into a stable lunar orbit where astronauts can visit and explore it, a 'stepping stone' to future missions to farther asteroids."

Asteroid Retrieval Feasibility Study:

https://www.rt.com/usa/158784-nasa-asteroid-landing-mining/

“This report describes the results of a study sponsored by the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) to investigate the feasibility of identifying, robotically capturing, and returning an entire Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) to the vicinity of the Earth by the middle of the next decade."

NASA Aims To Land On, Capture Asteroids Within Next 15 Years:

https://www.rt.com/usa/158784-nasa-as...

“NASA researchers are at work developing a plan that not only hopes to physically place astronauts on an asteroid for the first time, but also to wrangle a space object and place it in the orbit of the Earth’s moon."

In the 1930s Nuclear Energy Fueled the Future… Where is it Now? Jun 14, 2018

This sucker is nuclear, baby! Nuclear energy has been toted by some as the solution to our energy crisis, while others warn of its immense danger. But how did we even discover it? Why aren't we using it more? And what's the real deal with radiation, really? In this episode with Trace Dominguez, and special guest Dianna Cowern (Physics Girl), we explore all things nuclear.

Early Accretion Of Water In The Inner Solar System From A Carbonaceous Chondrite-like Source:

http://science.sciencemag.org/content/346/6209/623

“Determining the origin of water and the timing of its accretion within the inner solar system is important for understanding the dynamics of planet formation."

Dehydration Melting At The Top Of The Lower Mantle:

http://science.sciencemag.org/content/344/6189/1265

“The high water storage capacity of minerals in Earth’s mantle transition zone (410- to 660-kilometer depth) implies the possibility of a deep H2O reservoir, which could cause dehydration melting of vertically flowing mantle."

Why Do We Look For Water When Searching For Extraterrestrial Life?:

https://io9.gizmodo.com/5728932/why-do-we-look-for-water-when-searching-for-extraterrestrial-life

“The assumption that alien biochemistries probably require liquid water may seem a little Earth-centric. But given the chemical possibilities available from the most abundant elements in the universe, even an alien scientist with a different biochemistry would probably agree that a water-solvent-based biochemistry is quite likely to occur elsewhere in the universe – and might well be the most likely foundation for a complex ecosystem in which intelligent life could develop."

Scientists Discover The Oldest, Largest Body Of Water In Existence — In Space:

https://www.fastcompany.com/1769468/scientists-discover-oldest-largest-body-water-existence-space

“Scientists have found the biggest and oldest reservoir of water ever—so large and so old, it’s almost impossible to describe. The water is out in space, a place we used to think of as desolate and desert dry, but it's turning out to be pretty lush."

Why Are There 24 Hours In A Day?:

http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2011/11/15/3364432.htm

“While each country has (in broad terms) historically had distinct measurements for distance, weights etc the method of splitting the day into 24 hours, one hour into 60 mins and one minute into 60 seconds seems to be the only one in use, and indeed to me the only one I know of. "

Keeping Time: Why 60 Minutes?:

https://www.livescience.com/44964-why-60-minutes-in-an-hour.html

“How did we come to divide the hour into 60 minutes and the minute into 60 seconds? These smaller divisions of time have been in practical use for only about 400 years, but they were vital to the advent of modern science."

Why Is A Minute Divided Into 60 Seconds, An Hour Into 60 Minutes, Yet There Are Only 24 Hours In A Day?:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/experts-time-division-days-hours-minutes/

“In today's world, the most widely used numeral system is decimal (base 10), a system that probably originated because it made it easy for humans to count using their fingers."

Today, we find our funny bone. Not literally. Instead, we're going to breakdown the science of humor. We'll cover what happens in our brains when we find something funny, how a sense of humor evolved, what makes something not funny at all, and even if we can teach robots and A.I. to be funny!

Originally broadcast in 2015.

How The Internet Uses Your Reward System to Keep You Hooked Mar 22, 2018

Today, we’re going to break down the science of Internet Addiction or as we like to call it: Information Obsession.

New technologies are always met with skepticism, and yet much of the skepticism we're hearing today dates back hundreds of years. Join us as we explore: where this obsession came from, why it has such a grip on us, how people use our phones to take advantage of our biology, and what we can do about it.

We are warned about the effects of long hours in front of screens, but what if the internet is actually a better way to experience reality?

A Very Brief History of Propaganda in Times Past:

https://www.physics.smu.edu/pseudo/Propaganda/history.html

"Propaganda has been around for a long time, going back to ancient Greece. Chapter 2 of Jowett & O'Donnell provides an excellent historical background. In there you will find numerous examples of historical propaganda campaigns. "

The Story of Propaganda:

https://www.historians.org/about-aha-and-membership/aha-history-and-archives/gi-roundtable-series/pamphlets/what-is-propaganda/the-story-of-propaganda

"The American Historical Association produced the G.I. Roundtable Series to help win World War II. Or so they were led to believe. In fact the U.S. Army sought the pamphlets as part of a larger effort to prepare for the transition to the postwar world, and represent a novel effort at social control."

From stamps to social media, the history of propaganda:

https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/from-stamps-to-social-media-the-history-of-propaganda-1.303748

"Since the twentieth century, propaganda has largely had pejorative associations. The term continues to imply something sinister; synonyms for propaganda frequently include lies, falsehood, deceit, and brainwashing."

Here's some incredible pro-independence propaganda from the American Revolution:

http://www.businessinsider.com/pro-independence-propaganda-from-the-american-revolution-2015-7

"During the Revolutionary War, Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere were among the people who created stunning pieces of art that inspired the fight for America's independence."

House of Bourbon:

https://www.britannica.com/topic/house-of-Bourbon

"House of Bourbon, Spanish Borbón, Italian Borbone, one of the most important ruling houses of Europe. Its members were descended from Louis I, duc de Bourbon from 1327 to 1342, the grandson of the French king Louis IX (ruled 1226-70)."

Discovery of the Electron

http://www.pbs.org/transistor/science/events/electron.html

“Scientists worked with electricity long before they understood that current was made of electrons. The cathode tube was a prime example, no one knew how it worked. Some thought the rays were a wave traveling through a mysterious "ether" which they thought permeated all space.”

Who was Democritus?

https://www.universetoday.com/60058/democritus-atom/

“One such person is Democritus, an ancient Greek philosopher who is viewed by many as being the ‘father of modern science.’ This is due to his theory of universe that is made up of tiny ‘atoms’, which bears a striking resemblance to modern atomic theory.”

Thales of Miletus

http://www.iep.utm.edu/thales/

“The ancient Greek philosopher Thales was born in Miletus in Greek Ionia. Aristotle, the major source for Thales's philosophy and science, identified Thales as the first person to investigate the basic principles, the question of the originating substances of matter and, therefore, as the founder of the school of natural philosophy.”
